take over btc
too ?
mircea_popescu: this is
the first
time i've geard "only 10%" in
the process of
this ipo
mircea_popescu: actually
the fact
that it's available for sale
to
the public eliminates
that.
BTC-Mining: Evoorhees/investors will probably sell
those coins...
JohnSmith777: Satoshi Dice has
the potential
to rule
the Bitcoin world if it hoards enough coins.
Azelphur: guess I'll have
to deposit 38 lol
mircea_popescu: i guess should put a leading zero

these days

tried
to deposit 39, but it wants me
to deposit 39.95

There was already orders for over 0.0001
mircea_popescu: evoorhees one ideea might be
to introduce
themed days. sorta like google
Luke-Jr: it really is
tempting
to double-spend SD sometimes
evoorhees: it will be kinda fun
to just watch
the page
evoorhees: it is dynamic -
the stats and figures will update in real
time as it's played
BTC-Mining: when does it gets launched by
the way?
mircea_popescu: evoorhees your volume grew no matter what. if
there was an ipo it grew, when btc went up it grew, it's a sickness.
evoorhees: this might be a fluke, but at least
thus far,
the rising price has not lowered
the amount of BTC bet
evoorhees: John -
thus far, when price rose from
the $5's
to
the $10s and higher, SD volume actually grew nominally in BTC

evoorhees: if SD maintained a leading position in
the market, it'd be making FAR higher dollar amounts, but not necessarily higher BTC amounts
evoorhees: a world where btc is $1000 each is a world where
the bitcoin economy is booming,
tons of money flowing around
JohnSmith777: evoorhees: Will people bet less and less as
the price goes up?
mircea_popescu: sgornick it's assbot not gribble and i dont
think it does pms yet
JohnSmith777: evoorhees: Could a price of say $1000 a Bitcoin do damage
to your IPO?
BTC-Mining: No,
those legs seems disproportionate with
the rest of her body.
That's some huge
thights.
sgornick: Any way I can do !ticker in a PM w/ gribble
to get
that?
usagi: You need
to be careful because some of
these companies will do a deal with you with
the intent
to
take you out
evoorhees: but 5% will, and
the system will grow and grow
evoorhees: 95% of
their plans won't go anywhere
evoorhees: there's no monotonous plan
that may fail.... but
thousands of people working in different directions
evoorhees: it means we'll all
try different
things
evoorhees: well in any case, inagi, it's good
that people have a wide array of opinions on how
to "advance" bitcoin
mircea_popescu: and in order
to get whores on btc you need
to get casinos on btc
mircea_popescu: i guess
the day all whores
take btc is
the day corrupt politicians ask for btc
BTC-Mining: Only exchanges
that want
to deal BTC/Fiat get
to do
that
BTC-Mining: But bitcoins company might not benefit
that much from dealing with regulated markets directly
JohnSmith777: Make enough people in
the real world dependent on Bitcoins
evoorhees: once
the bridge is built,
the better side of
the bridge will be accessable
evoorhees: I'm don't
think Bitcoin is as weak as you do
evoorhees: what's
the warning exactly?
That normal companies might
try
to harm Bitcoin?
evoorhees: we're not asking for your help in doing
this, but I'm suprized at
the antagonism
usagi: This isn't
the first
time I've seen
this siruation repeat itself.
evoorhees: we're building infrastructure
that is allowing
the normal world economy
to start merging into a Bitcoin world
usagi: [08:44:56] <evoorhees>
the marketing we're doing is business relationships being built with
the normal world
usagi: Cuz once
they get
their hooks in you, you're finished
mircea_popescu: had me kaibosh all sorts of otherwise good deals cause "not
the right kind of attention"
mircea_popescu: <usagi> Build
the wrong bridge and
they'll seize your server <<
the guy is paranoid with publicity, let me
tell you.
evoorhees: they should be worried about bitcoinworld "corrupting"
theirs
usagi: For one, how are you going
to explain
that your company has sold a portion of itself on a virtual stock exchange? If you ever IPO'd for real or made a deal with a real world company
those shares would become garbage
evoorhees: usagi - you fundamentally misunderstand
the power of Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: <Luke-Jr> SatoshiDice is nothing but a DDoS attack on Bitcoin abusing gamblers
to finance its attack :D
usagi: Neither are
they won by making deals with
the enemy
evoorhees: revolutions are not won by being
timid and careful
evoorhees: well... I'm not going
to stop moving forward with Bitcoin just because I might have big problems one day
usagi: If you include
the value of your bitcoins in it you will have a big problem one day :)
mircea_popescu: <usagi> Why
the hell are millions of shartes being created when each one is worth less
than a penny << same reason billions of satoshis are created, neh ?
usagi: The very first
thing
they will do is establish a dollar value for your bitcoins
evoorhees: I'm happy
to
take on
that risk,
to keep making bitcoin bigger
usagi: But as soon as you start dealing with real world companies and lawyers you open yourself up
to getting screwed in ways you can't imagine now
mircea_popescu: bitfoo
the disadvantage is
that any generated address you're stuck with forevar.
mircea_popescu: rdponticelli not everyone pays
to
the standard address. some people ask for separate ones, for w/e reason. sometimes
there's compensations related
to margins
that don't even register on
the blockchain. etc.
usagi: Build
the wrong bridge and
they'll seize your server
smickles: mircea_popescu: you can prolly ignore
that bit about
the deposits
usagi: the quickest way
to kill bitcoin is
to build bridges
to
the "real world"
smickles: that 33313 was
the last of
teh 32's
evoorhees: the marketing we're doing is business relationships being built with
the normal world
